About MIDACURE® UV Clear Coatings

The MIDACURE UV coating manufactured by MIDAD is a premium finish that offers excellent protection for printed items and allows for seamless further processing.

UV coatings are cured under ultraviolet radiation through a chemical reaction called chain polymerization. During the exposure to UV energy, photoinitiators become highly reactive particles, which then crosslink the acrylates to form a plastic film within milliseconds.
